The challenge
After training
Exposure continues, environment the same
Training course
6 hrs Some new info
Before training
1000s hrs exposure to safe environment
Traditional training not effective
Scientific literature suggests that driver
training of a traditional and conventional nature
contributes little to reductions in accident
involvement or risk among drivers of all age and
experience groups.

Training as a Road Safety Measure a Review of
